Wicked people never have time for reading. It's one of the reasons for their wickedness.

Reading is one form of escape. Running for your life is another.

Well-read people are less likely to be evil.

They're book addicts.

I don't know why wicked places generally look wicked. You'd think they'd look nice, to fool people, but they hardly ever do.

No matter who you are, no matter where you live, and no matter how many people are chasing you, what you don't read is often as important as what you do read.
